Ghost Jackal
« on: December 11, 2016, 06:05:28 PM »
 Any info on this bowling ball. EJ Tackett had this ball on the show of the Pba World Championship final today. He did not use it, but it was in his arsenal.

I dont think that you really want to see the pictures of the "Jackal" from 13 Ghosts.   ;D

Just another ball I won't consider simply because I will almost never see conditions in which to throw it.

My son however....

This appears (to me) to be finally a ball to replace the Raptor Talon in that it is earlier than the more recent Heavy Oil balls (including the Carnage and the LE).  I am kind of envisioning a Raptor Talon with more continuation.  If that is even a close description, then it would interest my son a great deal; more so than the LEs we have waiting on the rack in the basement.  He loves the Talon.  He's had one at every weight stop from 13-15 pounds.
Current bag:
DV8 Turmoil 2 Pearl
Radical Squatch hybrid
Motiv Forza GT
Hammer Black Widow Gold
DV8 Vandal
DV8 Creed Rebellion

No, not the same cover as the Havoc. That was the Helix HFS, this is the Coercion HFS.

Well I got a remix but I hear it was so-so...trying to pawn that off on someone else...but yeah I'd be all over it immediately but the No Rules pearl has my name all over it... decisions, decisions

Seems to be a great ball in the making.
These releases are well thought out and tested well it seems..

I can't speak on any other Motiv ball but the Primal Fear. The Primal Fear was my first testing of Motiv and I'll say I'm impressed. Seems to have great carry and continuation. Versatile piece so I'm enticed to give them a chance, alongside Storm/RG/900G of course. Someday I'll try some of this new stuff Hammer and Track are putting out but I digress.

Yeah, Motiv and Global would have to coexist in my bag peacefully. May happen soon.

Bill - Why this over say the Trident? I'm searching for a new big ball and thinking of trying one of these two. I like my Primal Fear enough I'm willing to try another Motiv.

Just a lot of success seen with that core. 

Yet to see a trident in any of my 3 leagues. But there were a ton of jackals and Carnage's ....all guys liked them.

Also sick of the storm solids lasting like 30-40 then they don't work and they doink 10 pins like crazy....I enjoyed that jackal oil test video...and If they truly last that long my tenure with Utah may end sooner than expected. 

Inknow I sound like AMF300crazy guy
